Altered BABY FOOD JARS

OK - so my younger sister had a baby in December and started feeding him baby food a few months ago. I saw the bottles at my moms house and thought to myself "Maybe I can alter these" Sure enough - it worked!!!!! Materials: Paint: Delta Ceramocoat acrylic paint in Opaque Brown Iron OxideFinish: Modge PodgeFlower in top of cap: Prima with bradMisc lace tripRibbon: M'sPins: gold safety pinsFlower tag: SIZZIX originals mini tags - I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE the way those tags cut - they are cut with chipboard and distressed.

Both Gerber and Beechnut jars work. I also cut a cirlce with my large circle punch to cover the inside of the lid.

I saw these on the Cricut board and commented there . . . these are fantastic! I JUST realized what these remind me of . . . have you ever seen the movie "Baby Boom" with Diane Keaton . . . she moves to Vermont and starts that "Country Baby" food company . . . she designs her jars, and for some reason, these jars remind me of that! They have a country / vintage feel to them! Anyway, LOVE them!
